DSM Engineering Plastics

KIRCO and KIRCO MANIX transformed 31,550 square feet of former Bally’s Total Fitness space into a Class A mixed-use facility for DSM Engineering Plastics. The state-of-the-art space incorporates sustainable design, flexible office and conference areas, and a research and development lab focused on automotive plastics innovation.

Notable features include a barrel-vaulted skylight, a dramatic glass-railed staircase, open collaborative workspaces, a European-style lobby and interior design, mezzanine collaboration areas, and covered parking with direct building access. The project was recognized with the Troy Chamber of Commerce’s Best of Troy Award.

“I’ve done several different office building projects… I would say by far this team has been the most flexible, transparent, cooperative team I’ve worked with.” — Scott Warren, DSM

Yarema Die & Engineering

Management at Yarema Die and Engineering needed additional manufacturing and office space to nurture their growth and improve their operational efficiency. Their initial strategy was to build a new facility and dispose of the existing facilities. KIRCO analyzed all of the options for providing more space and ultimately designed a strategy to add on to the existing facility as a way to reduce the costs associated with the project. One phase in particular required KIRCO MANIX to build a new manufacturing building around the existing plant, which remained operational during the entire project.
